Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez is summoned to appear before a Madrid court for a conciliation hearing connected to alleged defamatory comments he made about FC Barcelona. The hearing is scheduled for November 25, according to sources close to the case.
Both reports say the matter relates to comments Pérez is alleged to have made concerning Barcelona referee payments. They describe the court step as part of a process that may lead to possible criminal proceedings, depending on the outcome of conciliation. While both outlets give the same core details—Pérez’s summons, the court setting, the hearing date, and the defamation allegation—they provide limited additional information about the specific statements or the legal claims. No details are given in either source on the arguments from Pérez or Barcelona, or on what evidence is being considered at this stage of the case.
